bkenobi Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Now these are some sweet prizes! If I were creative, I'd be all over this! Nice job Adultery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Thanks. But mostly, thanks to the sponsors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yes, thanks to the sponsors of course. I just wanted to make sure you got recognition for doing the leg work of contacting them and getting things organized for the contest.I tried to make a theme once. It was a freaking disaster. So, now I rely on other's creativity. Maybe I should have let my wife design it an I implement it (she's in advertising and comes up with the advertising concepts that the creatives implement).

Draco1962 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 @Adultery - You just continue to fascinate! Good work!@bkenobi - If I can visualize and toss together a theme, then it is within your reach! I learned GIMP as I went along. Of course, I tend to be OCD about things I love to do and grab hold with bulldog tenacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Man, I'd love to get my hands on all those prizes. Too bad I just don't have the skill. I tried my hand at making a Theme way back before V2 themes. It sucked so bad by the time I was done, I just broke down and used somebody elses. Good job ahead of time to whoever wins!
